DEAL DONE:Ex-Celtic star player renew his contract with Celtic few minutes ago…
Brendan Rodgers strengthened Celtic with no less than seven signings this season as the Irishman looks to tackle domestic and European business.
So far, the moves Rodgers has made have paid off as Celtic remain unbeaten in the Scottish Premiership and have recorded an impressive win in the Champions League over Slovan Bratislava.
Whilst some players like Alex Valle and Auston Trusty are biding their time and settling into the club, Callum McGregor has said that one of Rodgers’ summer signings instantly blew him away from the first day he saw him.
Arne Engels is a ‘real powerhouse’ at Celtic
McGregor was asked about his thoughts on Arne Engels after the Belgian’s impressive performances for Celtic so far.
And the Celtic captain admits he was immediately impressed with the quality he has brought at such a young age.
At the Celtic press conference, McGregor said, “I saw him on the first day and I thought, ‘He’s a player, he can play’.
“He’s a real powerhouse and good on the ball. But you still have to go and deliver when the game kicks off.
“For a young player, albeit experienced for his age, to come into a club this size and take two penalties in the first two games and hit the ground running the way he has done has been excellent.”
Arne Engels has real potential for Celtic
Arne Engels became Celtic’s record signing after Brendan Rodgers splashed £11m to land the Belgian midfielder.
At just 21, Engels is capped at full international level with Belgium, has scored and assisted in the Champions League and is playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world.
With two goals and two assists to his name already, Engels’ impact at Celtic has been impressive but the fans should be wary of expecting too much too soon.
At his young age, he is still developing and honing his skills but early indications are that he can go on and become a great signing for Celtic should he continue his current progress under Brendan Rodgers.
